Hello Guys/Ladies

I am a member of multiple car forums, on of the is PistonHeads. Any Regular followers of the forum might know of the new feature where members can send in a list of cars that they would buy for £100K and explain why they picked them.

Well, mine got put up today, and just wanted to share it with everyone as I'm really proud!


My Dream Fleet


I think it would be intresting to see if anyone would like to have a good think about what they would have and post it below. There is no rules stating what is right or wrong, if it has to be full of VW's (Mines wasnt). If you fancy giving it ago please find the format below.

Why I chose it:

Name: Josh
Previously owned: polo 1.0, polo 1.4, polo harlekin
Currently owned: polo 1.0, polo harlekin
On the shortlist: If this is what I'll buy next - Polo gti (6n2). If it's what I look for in a car - Anything quirky. Limited edition, mad ideas. The other side of me is anything big with loads of power. As in something you could take family and friends out in and people wouldn't take note of it if they saw it. That is until you rev the engine.

Cost: £4,000
Balance: £96,000

Why I chose it: I'm a sucker for anything limited edition, especially if it's got a plaque saying what number it is. Also, my auntie had a clio when I was younger which I always liked.

Cost: £1,350
Balance: £94,650
Why I chose it: Again limited edition and a polo, win win.

Cost: £2,995
Balance: £91,655

Why I chose it: Big, bulky, practicalish. So long as it's not rusted to the ground I love this shape e55

Cost: £9,250
Balance: £82,405

Why I chose it: I remember my dad bringing a CL500 home from work when they were new. He slightly touched the accelerator as we were leaving the exit of a roundabout, in the rain,and ended up drifting the turn. I can only assume the CL55 would be a lot more fun.

Cost: £74,115+ would add on optional extras

Balance: 0

Why I chose it: Again my dad's influence. He got to borrow one for the day and we went out in it. I've never smiled so much in a car. Lovely exhaust note, masses of power. Loads of buttons by the gear stick for (what I can remember) launch control, suspension dampening, eco/sport/amg modes. Plus the way people's heads shoot around when you start it up in a car park.

My list could have gone on forever because the majority of the cars I'd buy if I won the lottery would be sub £5k.

Crazy how 100k wouldn't even be that much. You can spec up an F10 M5 over 100k.
